MAY the Fifth Be With You
Busy time of year, this. I’ve got some action for you this Friday & Saturday but the real action seems to be kicking off Sunday with Jonathan Toubin’s big ol’ party at Brooklyn Bowl… after that, it’s pretty much a steady stream of awesomeness every week into late June! TONIGHT (FRIDAY): Two early happy hour [...]
Original PARTYfacts from the Current Era
Geez. What a week! Last night’s Friars Club T Valentine bash was one to remember (check my video of Daddy Long Legs post-Valentine set here). And it ain’t over yet.

TONIGHT: All we’ve got tonight is the usual Dave the Spazz and/or Andy Maltz at Union Pool in Williamsburg spinning ridiculously good records. FREE MONDAY: [...]
Iggy Isn’t Sick! Let’s Party!
Some of you (hell, many of you, judging by the FB comments) were mildly to grossly appalled by our own Drew Redmond’s April Fool‘s Day joke the other day. Just in case you’re still wondering– Iggy isn’t really sick, except in the “that dude is SICK!” kind of way. Yeah, so… let’s celebrate! You have [...]
Just What You Needed
Unusual action tonight and tomorrow– we’re still feeling the ripples of SXSW touring schedules this week, which is probably better than actually going to Austin. TONIGHT (WEDNESDAY): Copycat, the semi-monthly covers night, debuts a new band tonight– The Cars. Members of the Electric Mess will tackle some of the hits tonight among other performers and [...]
